<p>Campus Compact VISTA Stanford - Nuestra Casa</p> <p>The Campus Compact AmeriCorps VISTA program places AmeriCorps VISTA members in full service with our campus and community partners for a one-year period. During this year, members spend 35 hours per week on their host site's campus or with one of that campus's community partners to work on building systems and programs that support low-income college students and community members. The VISTA member's work is to build capacity, meaning that rather than directly serving the community, they're enhancing or creating systems, structures, and resources that support the direct anti-poverty work. Campus Compact functions as the central VISTA program hub, performing program administration, offering training and support to VISTA members and their projects, and connecting the work happening in individual projects both to similar work happening nationwide and back to AmeriCorps.

By creating video resources and culturally relevant educational materials in English and Spanish, we seek to improve knowledge about safe water. Additionally, through ongoing collaboration with the Osman Impact Lab at Stanford, we will assess the initial study's findings and determine the next steps to advance safe, affordable water access. The VISTA Member will contribute to these goals by developing outreach tools that foster community engagement and education. The VISTA member will assist with data collection, research, and educational material development. This position provides a unique opportunity to drive meaningful change by empowering East Palo Alto residents with the knowledge, resources, and platform to ensure their access to clean, safe, and affordable drinking water.</p> <p>Program Benefits : Additional host site non-cash supports , Health Coverage* , Training , Choice of Education Award or End of Service Stipend , Relocation Allowance , Living Allowance , Childcare assistance if eligible .</p> <p>Terms :</p> <p>Permits working at another job during off hours , Permits attendance at school during off hours , Car recommended .</p> <p>Service Areas :</p> <p>Education , Environment , Community Outreach , Children/Youth , Community and Economic Development .</p> <p>Skills :</p> <p>General Skills , Communications , Environment , Community Organization , Public Health , Education .</p>
